You could take out one seat, but I would remove the rug, and push the sectional back into the corner.

But the photo isn't giving us enough information. Could you provide more photos of the area?

What is going on with the arches?

As is, the sectional is too big for the space. The rug isn't working because of the border and the size. Coffee table is too small for to accommodate guests.

The window blinds are so dark.

It's usually a good look to have some breathing room behind a sectional (like you have it now) but I would definitely try it with the pieces moved as you suggest. If the chaise can be closer to the right (doesn't look like there is a tv in the space or is it where the camera is?) and the whole sectional moved to the left, I think it would be much better. The large size and snugness with the walls reminds me of the conversation pits of years gone by. It's a cozy, inviting arrangement.

eta, the rug is fine and I think you've done a good job with blocking the arch as a walkway; the pieces you have there are not too obtrusive, yet prevent anyone from using it (as I'm sure you intended).

Hmmmm. "breathing room, rug is fine, blocking archway" Often it seems that a comment is made to lessen another's suggestions; comment really isn't directed to the OP at all.

You should have added this to the other thread on this room not started a new one.

Just try it!

Whatever you're thinking to see what you feel is best.

I agree with @shari13 - why start another thread?

I think we all gave you nice ideas in your previous post.

You're correct, but just meant as a second opinion. Not meant to diss the person making suggestions. Sorry if I offended you.

Looking at your other post (I didn't see it before) and your comments, plus other's suggestions, I see you want to get rid of the stuff in the archway and are willing to move the dragon's home. Would it fit in the archway? It would block the archway as it seems you want to do and could look almost like a double sided fireplace.

As others have said, it would be great to spread out into more of the room, but if your partner is unwilling you're kind of stuck making the best of it.

Everything needs to be moved to middle of the space…centered with the middle archway…this room deserves drama…add a long console behind the sectional add a sculpture and tall lamps…this room is so beautiful you must work with the architecture.

It looks like removing a piece of each side of the sectional would help things feel less cramped and feel like you're able to move around some and add other things.
